Maybe the First; Certainly Not the Last: Master Lock

A 'good news' story describes the return of Master Lock production to Milwaukee.

Yep - saw that first hand at the evil multinational. But I will say it again, the US can compete even with higher wages when you toss in efficiency, lower inventory, lower logistics, and higher quality.

BUT...

Overhead caused by higher regulatory costs can turn that equation upside down very quickly.

Maybe it's Union, maybe it's not. I work in a UAW shop and have respect for their talent and ability. They actually produce something, unlike our public sector union friends who suck at the tit and produce zero.

Interesting that they announced the return AFTER the Democrats were unceremoniously thrown out.
